I spent my last day in Bangkok with a Belgian woman who lives in Spain, where she runs holiday apartments. We got on really well - another new email address to add to my growing collection. Then I got the overnight bus to Krabi, along with all the other European backpackers. Surprisingly I actually slept some of the time! Fortunately when I got here in the morning I didn't have too long to wait before my bungalow was ready.
A bungalow in this context is a hut made of wood and corrugated iron and lined with woven bamboo leaves. It has an oddly plumbed bathroom and a verandah, and is raised on stilts. I've seen a gecko inside and one of those big lizards outside. I've bought mosquito coils to keep the only dangerous wildlife at bay.
Where I'm staying is not actually on the beach - it's about 10 miutes walk to the nearest beach, where you can catch little boats to an array of beautiful beaches set among spectacular cliffs and jungles.
I won't be able to upload photos just yet as I am using an internet cafe rather than my own computer (no wifi) but you will be jealous when you see th
e pictures.
I'll be here for a few days and then probably go to one of the very basic and unspoilt islands for a couple of days. I plan to have more lazy days like today - swimming, reading, sunbathing and enjoying the food and the views - before I head back to Bangkok to catch my flight to India on 1st February.
